"I... I just killed my father. ...Varmy is dead..." Migx knew it wasn't the right reaction, but the thought of that idiot's death by his own son kind of made him smile. "Far out, Vern!" Migx said. Vern just followed the others back. "I don't know if that's far out or not. He may have been a lost cause, but maybe I could have helped him. I just didn't have it in me to try until it was too late."

Erynil kept her eyes on the hut while staying in the shadows. "But what should we do about Rin?" She asked. "Is she of concern?"

"I didn't care for your fool father, but it is still sad died. Come on Vern. Let's go back to the hut.", Conner said to Vern. With that, he went over towards the hut, hoping Historius was okay.

Meanwhile, at the hut...

Historius was working on trying to make the Elixir work without the rare ingredients, when Heart and Tika came bursting in. They quickly exclaimed what they said. "Let me look at them. It looks like they suffered a major amount of scratches. I will disinfect those and put on bandages.", Historius said, getting bandages and disinfectant wipes.

While Historius got the medical supplies, Heart put Soul down on a nearby bed, as did Tika with Crystal.

"Hang in there, guys," he said. Tika looked over at him. She started to noticed that Heart had shed some tears.

"Don't worry Heart, they'll be fine," Tika said.
- - -

"That is up to you to decide," said Salamance. "The point of the attack is to find and kidnap the Pokémon responsible for the cure, as well as get both the mutated cures and anything that seems like an interesting find."

"Mwahaha, no problem," Erynil said as she snuck around. "Now... How to get rid of the riff-rats? Maybe we should lure them out. And who can resist the investigating of a disturbing loud noise? Hmm hmm hmm."

As Vern entered the hut, he eventually looked at Migx and noticed the little girl he was holding. "Wait, who is that?" Vern asked. Migx and Vern entered the office where everyone else was. "Oh, she... her name is..." "RIN!?" Migx and Vern turned around to see Francis. It looked like Francis knew Rin.

((OOC: If anyone wants, they can control Francis and Rin.))

As Conner was going to enter the hut, he felt something odd. He used Detect, and noticed the Salamence and the strange Malamar on the roof. He quickly went inside, hoping the two Outlaws didn't notice. "Everyone. There is a Salamence and a Malamar on our roof.", Conner said calmly. Historius wrapped the two injured Pokemon with bandages while saying, "What could they want? The closest thing I can think of is the Elixir.". There was a long pause. "Conner. Hide all evidence of the Elixir. If they break in, I don't want them knowing how we made it.", Historius said, frightened.

"Oh, Arceus, they spotted us!" said Salamance. "No time to wait now, let's get in there!"
---
Heart noticed that Crystal was injured near her leg bracer. "Historius, quick, I need you to bandage this area before the Outlaws get here! They can't know about Crystal!"

"No," Erynil said before going into quiet mode. She needed to stay quiet so only her and the Salamence would hear her. "Remember, we have to lure them out. Barging in would likely put us at a disadvantage. We have to get them out somehow. Like I said, the loud noise. If we can pound the back of the hut hard enough, then we can lure some of them out. How good are you at control. If we can create impacts enough to sound threatening, but not enough to destroy, we can fish them out. And whoever doesn't come out, I'll take care of."

"I will go ahead and bandage the area. Conner, guard the door and make sure no one gets in. Once I help Crystal, I will hide every single scrap of evidence towards the... you know what.", Historius said. Conner nodded, and stood guard at the door. Historius removed the bracer. "This is a nasty scar on her leg. Tell you what. I could make a poultice that could get rid of it before I put on the bandage. Are you all right with that, Soul?", Historius told Soul.

OOC: Soul is the other one unconscious.
_____
"I'd love that," said Heart. "If we can get rid of the scar, it would hide her immunity easier. but I can't make any promises that it will go away. That bite mark wouldn't go away no matter what we tried before. It's like it's a permanent scar on her arm. but whether or not it works, we still need to keep the bracer on her leg in order to keep suspicion away from the people we lied to about her immunity."
---
"Alright," said Salamance. "It is getting closer to night. When I give the signal, you begin the attack." Salamance then flew over to another hiding spot.

"Alright, I will do my best. Don't forget, I am probably older than your grandparents, and I have more knowledge about healing than most others out there, so I am confident that this will work. Before I make the poultice, let me hide all of the Elixir items. Conner, would you detect if the Outlaws are still there?", Historius said. He started putting away all of the items pertaining to the Elixir. "I will Historius.", Conner replied. He used Detect, discovering that the Malamar was still on the roof, while the Salamence was on the side of the house, getting ready to hit it hard. "Migx, I think you should go out there and use Ice Beam against the Malamar and Salamence. They are both weak to that. Would you please?", Conner asked Migx.

OOC: I was hoping to join, but I have a few questions before making sheets.

Are TM/ Egg/ Tutor/ Special moves acceptable/ obtainable?
Are shinies okay?
What about Held Items and Stones?
Can Pokemies die? Because you described them as zombie-like and some depictions of zombies can't die.
Can my characters be the same species as other characters?
Should I read the whole RP up until now to get familiarized with the story?

I think that's all... Sorry for all the questions, but I don't want to have to redo my character sheets over and over.

"Okay," Migx said, cautiously walking to the door. Vern decided to make a comment. "And if they get too close, maybe you could even put your big paws to use, oh "pawfulness."" Migx turned around and smiled. "Aww, now you're getting it," Migx chuckled. Migx had this thing where he wanted Vern to refer to him as "his pawfulness." Deep down, they've almost forgotten about that.

Finally, Migx walked outside quickly then turned around. Spotting the Malamar, he quickly shot an ice beam at it. It hit her, but didn't phase her much. "...wait, I thought Connor said you were weak to ice," Migx said. The Malamar preped up. "Looks like your friend is wrong," she said before creating circular waves that put Migx to sleep. (Hypnosis.) Erynil stayed on the roof and waited for someone else to come out.

OOC: @Darchangel: it's fine, those are some pretty good questions.

-so long as they're moves that the Pokémon can legitimately learn, then you can choose any move you want.
-shinies are allowed.
-this world uses a system similar to the Mystery Dungeon, so held items such as scarves or bands, i'll allow. as for stones, i'm fine with it. but if you evolve a Pokémon, remember that it must still stay in the level limit.
-Pokemies can only be knocked out in this world. this is why the Virus has been around for so long, as the only way to get rid of Pokemies is to either find a method of getting rid of them or changing them back to Pokémon. no death is allowed in the RP at all just yet, I am still figuring out how that's going to work.
-Yes, your characters may be any Pokemon you want, you just have to give them a name to distinguish them from other Pokémon (Which reminds me, I still haven't given a name to my antagonists yet. i'll have to do that once I get the chance for Salamance and the others to say their names.).
-Ehhhhh.... that's up to you. you can choose to read everything in the RP, have one or more of us explain the story so far, or our characters in the RP can say so.

I do hope you'll join us!

Historius finished putting away all things related to the Elixir, so he was working on the poultice for Crystal. He mixed in a variety of berries, with some Sacred Ash, and, for potency, a teaspoon of Elixir. He mixed it up, and soaked a rag with it. "The poultice should be ready. I hope this works, as I would not like her to have that constant reminder.", Historius said to Heart. He wrapped the rag around Crystals leg, and put the bracer back on. "If you check under that bracer in a couple of hours, I am sure the mark will be gone., Historius said to Heart again.

So... Can I join?

Vern noticed that Migx dropped like a fly before starting to snore. Vern immediately ran outside. "What the heck!" He cried out as he saw the Malamar. Erynil eventually used hypnosis again on Vern. "Nice try," Vern started. "But that don't work on a Drowzee." Vern then used his mind to attack Erynil (Psychic). ...But Erynil just smiled and chuckled. "Ha! And THAT won't work on a DARK type!" Erynil chorted, reminding Vern that Dark types were immune to Psychic.

OOC: @Darchangel: accepted. welcome to the RP!
_____
Heart heard all the commotion outside, and just as he opened the door and saw Vern and Eyrnil fighting, Salamance came and attacked Heart with DragonBreath, slamming Heart against Vern.

"Conner, I think you should go out there. You may not do much damage, but I have something that might work against them, so attack them!", Historius told Conner. Conner nodded, and he swiftly gone out to protect his home. Conner used Force Palm against the Malamar. "Should have known that Ice Beam wouldn't be effective. But Fighting type moves do. What do you want from here?", Conner yelled at the Malamar.

Just as Conner ran outside, Tika quickly followed. Unbeknownst to both of them, Salamance quickly slipped inside the hut. He looked around and noticed Historius.

"Well, looks like we have the Pokémon with the cure! Hate to break it to you, but you're coming with me." he said.

Soul started to regain consciousness. he was still injured, but awake. when he woke, he noticed Salamance looming over Historius. Just as importantly, he noticed Crystal's bracer had fallen off, and her bite mark was clearly visible.

Got to... get up... and help... he thought.

"I am not saying a single bit of the cure to you, you foul beast!!", Historius yelled at the Salamence. He then flown out of the window, which was conveniently away from the Malamar's location. He didn't like leaving his home, but for his own safety, he flown away.

Conner beat up the Malamar with everything he got, until it eventually lost consciousness. He then noticed Tika, who was behind him. "You and me should be inside now.", Conner said to her. He walked inside, then noticed there were some of Historius' feathers on the ground, and the Salamence inside the hut. Conner then gave the dragon a cruel stare. "What did you do to my friend, and what do you and the Malamar want from here?", here asked the Salamence coldly.

The Force Palms hit Erynil, but fortunately her Psychic typing canceled out her weakness to Fighting, lessening the blow. Vern, on the other hand was knocked over fro the Salamence's blow, still able to fight but weakened a bit. Eventually, Erynil came down from the roof and attacked Conner from behind, using her Psychic abilities to strike Connor's weakness. ...Which fortunately for Conner was canceled out by his Steel typing.

OoC: Ummm... I already made Erynil knocked out, and discovered Historius was gone...

OoC: Thanks.
------------------
Ravyn lay soundly asleep on her stomach, she hadn't intended on falling asleep when she did last night, but she has a history of falling asleep unpredictably.

"Ravyn? You awake? It's time to go!" Zanni nudged the sleeping Vulpix's shoulder.
"Come on, wake up! You've been asleep all day!" Nothing...

"Oh well, you made me do it..." Then Zanni walked behind Ravyn. Drawing one foot backward, he took aim, and...
"YOUCH!" Ravyn was wide awake, she jumped into the air in pain, clutching her rear.

"W-w-what was that for?"
"Sorry, you weren't waking up... I had to do something..."
"Don't ever do it again! As a matter of fact, don't ever touch me while I'm asleep again."
"Ravyn..."

After the two finished bickering, Zanni recalled why he woke her up.
"Oh, that's right! We need to get a move on if we're gonna find someone who can help us."
"Can't it wait until tomorrow, Zanni? I'm still *yawn* tired..."
This is hopeless... Zanni thought to himself.

"Okay, okay. Five more minutes, Ravyn. Then you have to start getting ready to go, okay?"
"Okay..." She responded slowly.
Zanni shook his head as he walked away. "Aiaiai!"

Ravyn stared at Zanni as he left her, once he was out of sight, she looked up to the sky. "My bed is my home, I'm never leaving..."
With that she fell back asleep.

OOC: Isn't that called bunnying though? Isn't it I who decides whether Erynil gets knocked out or not?

OOC: MugoUrth is right, zookinator. I don't know what that's called, but MugoUrth should be the one deciding this. Conner can still go inside, but he can't knock out Erynil because MugoUrth hasn't done so yet.
______
Tika helped Heart get back up, before Heart unleashed a Hydro Pump at Eyrnil.

"We want control." Salamance said to Conner. "Power. If we have the cure, we become heroes to the world and power all of it. but in order to do that, we have to get rid of you scum to keep from our history getting out. And your friend flew out before I could get him, but..."

Salamance then noticed Crystal's bracer was off, and the scar was still healing.

"Ohohohoho, she's immune?" Salamance said. he walked up to grab the still- unconscious Crystal. "Don't mind if I-"

Just as Salamance picked up Crystal, He was knocked back against the wall with a Volt Tackle. Soul pinned Salamance against the wall, rage behind his eyes.

"DON'T. YOU. DARE. TOUCH. HER!"

Soul then Iron-Tailed Salamance, smashing him through the wall of the hut, tumbling outside.

"Conner, help Crystal up I'll deal with him. No one touches my friends." Soul said, fury in his voice.

Zanni came back to where Ravyn was sleeping, holding a small bag of assortments.
"Wow, sound asleep again! I envy you Ravyn!"

He set the bag down, and prepared to nudge her awake, then paused.
"She'll be mad if I touch her while she's asleep again... But how am I supposed to wake her up..?"
A light bulb lit up in his head. From inside of the bag Zanni drew a Chesto Berry and stuck it into Ravyn's mouth.
Suddenly, she woke up.

"Pah! Pah! Ewww! What is that?"
"It's a Chesto Berry. They're used to wake up sleepyheads like you."
"Well, they taste disgusting! Why didn't you just shake me awake like normal?"
"You..." Zanni bit his tongue.

"Well, you should be wide awake now, and ready to get moving, right?"
"Yeah, yeah. As soon as I go wash out my mouth..."
"My goodness!" Zanni exclaimed as Ravyn ran off.
"I guess I might as well try to sort things out while I wait for her."

OOC: guys, I should also mention once the battle going on at Everest is over, the next day will be starting. i'm not saying it has to end ASAP, but just a heads up for when the fight is finished.

"Okay, I'm ready..." Ravyn rubbed her eyes.
"Alright, I figure we'll go to Staff, we'll see if there's anyone who can help us there, if not there'll probably be someone who knows where we can--"
"I don't want to go to Staff..."
"Okay, why not..?"
"I dunno, I just don't want to..."
"Alright... Where do you want to go?"
"...Everest..." She responded slowly.
"Why Everest?"
"I don't know. I just have this feeling..."
Zanni paused. "If you say so..."

And so the two set off for Everest.
On the way, Ravyn became tired again.

"We should try to reach somewhere safe before taking a break..."
"I can't keep walking, Zanni" Ravyn complained.
"We've only just started."
Ravyn dramatically fell to the floor.
"*Facepalm* Well you leave me no choice..."
Zanni took hold of Ravyn. "What do you think you're doing? Put me down! Put me down, I said!"
"Relax! You're the one who insisted you couldn't walk anymore. I'm just gonna carry you to somewhere safe, see if we can't reach Everest..."
Ravyn thought about it for a little while.
"No! You can't carry me! Other Pokemon will get the wrong idea!"
"Well then what do you wanna do?"
"..."
"Like I thought. So we march onward!"

OoC: Thanks for clearing that up pankakesparx.

Conner was terribly angry at the Salamence. "How can you have power over the world if you don't know how to make the cure? Very few Pokemon know how to make it. I don't care if you answer. GET OUT!!", Conner yelled at the Salamence. He then used Metal Claw against it.

Zanni carried Ravyn in his arms for some distance, and although barely anyone saw them, Ravyn became embarrassed and made Zanni carry her on his shoulders. Zanni didn't see what difference it made, but he was willing to do it to comfort Ravyn; she's been through a lot.

The two were nearing Everest.
"I'm not sure, but I think something's going on up there." Ravyn peered at Everest, but they were too far away.
"Only one way to find out, huh?"
"A-are you sure?"
"It was you who wanted to come here, right? You said you had a feeling, maybe this was it."
With that, Zanni dashed toward Everest.
By this time, he was becoming tired too.

Historius was flying above the hut, waiting for the fight to die down when he noticed a group of Pokémon heading towards Everest. He flown down towards them, and gave a warning, saying, "You should not come right now. There are evil Pokémon there, and my friends are fighting them off until they leave. I am too old to be fighting any more, so I flown off, until the fight stops. So please, don't go there right now.".

"Are you sure we can't help out?" Ravyn responded.
A minute ago, she didn't even want to go to Everest. Zanni thought to himself.
"I trust your friends will be able to take care of themselves? And how about you, are you okay?" Zanni offered the old bird his help.

Erynil noticed her Psychic energy didn't effect him much, so she tried something else. "Hey jackal dude, think fast!" She cried before sending out another hypnosis beam at Conner.

With the help of Conner, Soul slammed at Salamance with a Strength attack just as Salamance charged a Draco Meteor.

"You heard what he said!" Soul said, referring to Conner. "Answer him!"

"I'm afraid that information belongs to my team. But what I can say is that I need that Chatot to pull of my plan! Now get out of my way!"

"NO! You've done enough harm to my friends!" Soul shouted. "Conner, let's take this scum down!"
- - -
Tika ran in front of Erynil's hypnosis beam just before it hit Conner, and Tika collapsed o the ground.

"Tika, wake up!" Heart yelled. He sprayed a weakened Hydro Pump to wake Tika up, and slashed at Erynil with a Razor Shell.
- - -
Crystal slowly gained consciousness. Like Soul, however, she was very weak. Crystal looked around and saw the scene: the destroyed hut, Soul and Conner fighting Salamance, and the rest of the Pokémon fighting a Malamar. Crystal noticed some figures flying toward Historius, as well as a Vulpix and Meowth she didn't recognize. at closer look, she realized that Noctowl and Mismagius were flying toward Historius.

"Historius, look out!" Crystal shouted as she quick attacked Noctowl, ramming him into Mismagius.

"Hey! You'll pay for that!" Noctowl shouted after recovering.

"Historius, you okay?" Crystal asked.

Erynil managed to dodge the razor shell before calling out to the Salamance. "You got the cure?" She called out before trying to hit Heart with Psychic.

OoC: Wow, so much in a few hours.

Historius answered, "I am fine, but I need to hit to the skies now. I will see you soon. That Noctowl won't bother me.". Historius then flown off.

Conner rammed into the Malamar with a strengthened Force Palm, making it flinch. "I am the Chatot's friend! I know how to create the cure as well! But you will never learn how to make it, so long as I live!", Conner yelled at the Malamar. He then Force Palmed it again.

"Oh, great! We're on our own again! And we didn't even get the chance to ask him..."
Ravyn stared at the mountain.
"Oh, well. Guess we'll just wait this battle out, Ravyn."
Just then, she darted toward the battlegrounds, Zanni quickly chasing after her.
"What's gotten in to you? That old bird said his friends would handle it."
"Yeah, well we're not SEP, we help people who are in trouble before it's too late!"
"You'll only get in the way!"
But there would be no stopping her...

OOC: Once again, I decide whether she flinches or not.

Erynil laughed at Conner after his attacks. "Then you will take this info to your grave," she said before trying to hypnotize him again.

"Not yet!" Salamance shouted to Erynil as he tried to dodge Soul's Volt Tackles. Heart noticed Soul and decided to help out.

"Tika, go find Crystal and make sure she's okay!" Heart yelled over to Tika. Heart intercepted Salamance's Dragon Claw just then.

"What's your problem with us, man?" Heart said. "What you're doing is absolutely insane! Do you realize the damage you're even doing?"

"As a matter of fact, I do. After all, I caused all this."

Soul and Heart both looked confused. "What do you mean?" they both asked.

"I'll leave with this:" Salamance moved in closer. "DragonTech is the blame."

Heart completely froze. He suddenly realized everything. Everything: the Virus itself, the use of the mutated cure, and why they were so keen on finding and stealing a cure.

Soul noticed Heart zoning out. "What does he mean, Heart? What are you saying, Salamance?"

"My name is not Salamance." he said. "My name is Blackfire."

Heart's eyes widened. "You don't mean..."

"SOUL! HEART!" Tika screamed. Up in the sky, Noctowl and Mismagius had grasped Crystal.

"Surely you must know my colleagues, Ren and Poltergeist," Blackfire said, referring to Noctowl and Mismagius.

"Blackfire!" Ren shouted, "This Pokémon has an immunity!"

Soul quickly reacted. "You're not taking her!" Soul tried Volt Tackling Blackfire, but Blackfire quickly dodged.

"Well, if we can't get the cure, then maybe we'll experiment!" Blackfire said. "Erynil, time's up! Get going now or we'll be out of sight!"

"NOOOOO!" Soul screamed. But it was too late, The Outlaws were out of sight.

Heart, Soul, and Tika looked in disbelief. The Outlaws had gotten away, and with Crystal.

Tika tried shaking Heart and Soul out of their states of shock. "Guys, snap out of it! We can still catch up to them if we chase them down!" Soul was still kneeling on the ground, and Heart was still who knows where.

"Someone, help me out!" Tika yelled.
_____
OOC: sorry for the long post.

"Hmph hmph hmph. Very well Blackfire," Erynil laughed. "I think these losers have had enough. Tah-tah for now." Erynil rushed out the door with Blackfire, keepin her eye back to make sure they weren't going to attack.

Eventually, Migx woke up, and Vern finally made it to the door. As they walked closer, they saw the Inkay walk outside the door, barely catching a glimpse of Erynil. "M... Mommy?" Rin said aloud, feeling kind of sad. Migx shot up. "Whoa! Time out, that thing was your mom!?"

Conner dodged the Hypnosis the Malamar Erynil used. The Historius flew through the window and back towards Conner. "The hut is a disaster. But at least they didn't discover the cure.", Historius said to Conner. He then revealed a secret door to his cabinet, showing everything to the cure. Conner looked towards Historius. "The Outlaws took Crystal. They were going to experiment with her. The Salamence is named Blackfire, while the Noctowl and Mismagius were named Ren and Poltergeist. Do those names ring a bell to you?", Conner asked Historius. At the names Ren and Poltergeist, Historius looked worried. "Everyone I have bad news. The Noctowl and Mismagius were colleagues of the Slowking and Metagross. They know how to make them mutated cure. The Salamence must have gotten them under his control. If they inspect Crystal with the rag from thepoultice I made, they could discover how we made the cure. You all have to take her back here.", Historius said to everyone in the room. Conner then announced, "Everyone, we need to rescue Crystal, for more reasons than her being a friend. Everyone who is able needs to go. Who is with me?".

OOC: again, zook, you can't decide who other's characters are and what they do. I already have a plan on who the Outlaws actually are.

But, I will admit, that is actually a good idea to tie in with Ren and Poltergeist, so I'll go with it. But you can't keep letting this happen, someone's gonna get really mad if this keeps up.

"I'm in." said Soul. "I'm going to make those Outlaws rue the day they messed with my friends.

"Me too," said Tika, "I'm in. Crystal is our friend, we have to save her."

"Heart, are you in?" Soul asked. But Heart was still in a trance. "Heart, you okay?" Soul asked, a bit worried.

"...It all makes sense." he said. "The Virus, the mutated cure, trying to kidnap Historius, everything."

Soul and Tika exchanged looks. "Heart," Tika started, "What do you mean?"

"I mean," said Heart, "Is that the Salamance, Blackfire, is the one behind this apocalypse."

Soul and Tika looked in shock. "Uh, Heart, that's a really bold claim to have!" Tika said.

"Yeah, those guys are bad news, but I wouldn't think they're to blame for this!" Soul exclaimed.

"Hear me out everyone," Heart said to the group. "You need to listen to this. Years ago, when my... brother.... was still here, he told me there was this company called DragonTech. DragonTech was a company dedicated to finding the cures to all the world's diseases. The president of this company was named Blackfire, who was a Salamance, the same Salamance that attacked tonight. He was keen on finding the cure to a cancer disease in the world before the apocalypse. Soon, when he thought he found the cure, something happened that changed Blackfire. It's rumored that what happened was that he created the BR-97 Virus by complete accident. Because of what happened, the president of this region shut down DragonTech, believing it to be too dangerous now. Blackfire, in a fit of revenge for losing his job and everything he worked for, killed the president later that year, and DragonTech was found to be destroyed, as well as everything being discovered to be ransacked. Almost a month later, The Virus broke out. And finally, Blackfire said tonight that 'DragonTech is to blame'.

"So here's my theory: Blackfire wants the world to know he's good again. He did this by causing the very apocalypse, with what must have actually been the BR-97 Virus, and years later, when someone found the cure, he would use it to save the world, making Pokemon think he's some sort of god for stopping the apocalypse. As for the mutated cure, it must have been a means that Blackfire ran into by accident, and then used it so that the Pokemie situation could get worse, and it could make his 'good image' look better."

Heart took out a piece of paper. "My theory is backed up by this. It's a letter I grabbed from Blackfire's pack, which is sent to Ren and Poltergeist. it reads: I know who you are. I know you created this, this bad cure. let's make a deal. I have a plan. I am the one who started this outbreak. it's all part of my plan to find a cure and save the world, giving me a godlike image. if you give me this mutated cure, you can be part of all that. you can be seen as heroes as well. What do you say? If you're interested, come to Apple City. find the highway part of he city. we will meet there.

Heart put the paper back in his pack. "The only thing i don't understand is why this letter was in the pack in the first place. But even without this knowledge, I think- no, I KNOW- that Blackfire is the one that caused the end of the world."

OoC: Sorry, so sorry. I will try better.

"If you say this Blackfire is as bad as he sounds, we have no time to lose. After a longer rest, you should all leave.", Historius said to everyone. Conner said to everyone as well, "This accursed Virus has affected everyone in a horrible way. If we can stop him, and take back Crystal, we can heal everyone with the Elixir. It will take time, but I believe we can do it.".

Migx was still trying to register the Inkay into his mind. But while looking at it, he noticed it was starting to sob until eventually it screamed. "WAAAAAAAAAAH!!! MOMMYYYYYY!!!!!" Migx went over to try and help by massaging Rin's tentacles and her head, hoping to sooth her into calming down. But it didn't work, she still cried out. Vern tried to hypnotize her into falling asleep, but that did even less to help. Rin continued to scream and whine. No matter how many times Vern used Hypnotise, she would not fall asleep. Then Migx stopped him. "Wait, Vern. Don't you think we should be using a NON-Psychic move to put her to bed? She is a dark type you know." Deep down, Vern couldn't believe that Migx actually knew that.

OOC: Rin you guys can control. My other characters are off limits though except for Francis.

OOC: @zookinator- it's fine. don't worry too much about it.
@MugoUrth- I would control her if my character limit wasn't maxed. sorry.
_____
"Alright," said Heart, "We'll leave first thing tomorrow."

Soul's eyes widened. "We have to save Crystal now, Heart!" he exclaimed. "Who knows what those guys will do to her!"

"Soul, they aren't going to do anything to her. Blackfire knows how much your friends mean to you. He's using Crystal as bait to get you to Apple City. You need to rest."

Soul bit his lip. Finally, he broke down. "It should have been me." he sobbed. I'm to blame for all this."

"Soul, you can't blame yourself for what happened." said Tika. "Those Pokémon are the blame. they caused all..." she motioned her arms all over the place. "this! You need to get some rest."

Soul wiped his eyes. "Thanks, guys, you're the best." he said.

"how does that sound?" Heart asked the other Pokémon. "We leave for Apple City tomorrow."

OOC: the next day will be coming up later today or tomorrow, just a heads up.

"All settled. We will leave first thing tomorrow. I could give you some items to help against him, but I can't find much of anything. Conner, could you help me organize? This place is trashed!", Historius said. Conner nodded, and started cleaning. He didn't want to sleep just yet, as the excitement was still in him from the battle.

Zanni finally caught up to Ravyn.
"What are you doing? Why did you stop?"
"At first I was intent on participating in the battle... but something changed my mind."
"What?"
Ravyn didn't answer his question.
"Zanni, can we stay here tonight? I want to talk to these Pokemon tomorrow, before they leave..."
"Sure. But why?" He asked. Again, there was no answer.
That's when it occurred to him that she must of heard something that interested her from the other Pokemon.

Migx picked up Rin and looked around. "Can anyone help me with the little one?" he asked. "She won't stop crying."

OOC: Bump? Where did everyone go?

OoC: I'm still here, but I am waiting for another role player, specifically you, MugoUrth, or AmazingSpyro, or pankakesparx.
